EMPLOYERS including Asda, Airbus UK and Ruthin-based Patchwork Foods are to take part in an event being held in Flintshire next month and intended at focusing on how work-life balance can impact on staff morale and productivity.

The Welsh Assembly's worklife guidance notes for employers in Wales will be launched at the information day which is being organised by Chwarae Teg and others at the Beaufort Park Hotel, near Mold, on February 19.

Chwarae Teg chief executive Ruth Marks said: "Work-life balance is an effective employment practice that addresses the personal commitments or interests of employees, be they management or shop-floor, family carers or not, and male or female.

"The employers at the event will show how work-life balance is a proven method of getting the best from employees and improving the bottom line.''
